The Keyence PS-52C is a high-performance transmissive (thrubeam) sensor head engineered for general-purpose use, offering outstanding precision and versatility in a remarkably compact form. With its thin and lightweight design, this sensor is ideal for applications where space is limited, such as in tightly packed control panels, robotic assemblies, or small machinery.

The PS-52C utilizes a reliable infrared LED light source, providing consistent and interference-resistant detection across varying industrial conditions. Its thrubeam configuration ensures high detection accuracy by placing the emitter and receiver on opposite ends, allowing objects to be detected as they interrupt the light beam. This makes it a trusted solution for scenarios where precise part detection, presence sensing, or counting is essential.

This sensor head features two selectable operation modes‚ÄîTURBO and FINE‚Äîto adapt to a wide range of sensing tasks. In TURBO mode, it achieves a detection distance of up to 600 mm (23.62″), allowing it to monitor wider gaps or detect objects across longer spaces. In FINE mode, the detection distance is optimized for up to 300 mm (11.81″), offering enhanced sensitivity for closer-range applications requiring greater accuracy.

Despite its compact build, the PS-52C demonstrates impressive detection capability, being able to sense objects as small as 0.3 mm in diameter. This makes it highly effective for industries like electronics manufacturing, packaging, or medical device assembly, where identifying small or transparent items is critical.

Weighing approximately 30 grams (including its 2-meter cable), the PS-52C is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. The cable provides sufficient length for flexible mounting while maintaining strong electrical and signal integrity.

In summary, the Keyence PS-52C delivers excellent detection performance in a slim, space-saving package. Whether you need to detect micro-sized components or ensure reliable part passage in a confined setup, this sensor head offers the reliability, precision, and adaptability required for modern industrial automation.
